Moving to Sweden
When moving to Sweden, you may consider taking your belongings with you. Moving to Sweden is easiest by road transport. Because Sweden is a member of the European Union, you do not have to deal with customs formalities and the associated customs documents. Please note that a packing list is required if you pack the shipment yourself.
The costs of moving to Sweden
Transport to Sweden is offered in two ways, namely via direct transport and groupage transport. With direct transport the costs are higher because a truck will drive there especially for your shipment. With Groupage you share the costs, because your shipment will cross the border together with other shipments.

How long will it take for my belongings to travel to Sweden?
With direct transport you should take into account an average transit time of 7 days (highly dependent on the location in Sweden of course). With Groupage your shipment waits in our warehouse in the Netherlands until there are enough shipments available and then goes on the next truck, which is why this type of transport takes about 2 to 3 weeks.
Tips for emigrating to Sweden
Moving to Sweden is an exciting adventure. The first thing we think of when we think of Sweden is knäckebröd and of course IKEA and Swedish meatballs. 😉 But Sweden has much more to offer. This vast and spacious country is an excellent place to move to for peace and nature. In addition, Stockholm is a fun and trendy city. There are a number of things that need to be arranged before you can enjoy the peace and space in Sweden and we are happy to help you with this.
Do I need a visa in Sweden?
To emigrate to Sweden, a passport is required and for some countries a visa is also required. For living and/or working in Sweden, we recommend that you contact the consulate or embassy of your own country. Our relocation specialists from Eurohome can also help you arrange a visa or related questions for your emigration to Sweden and which documents are needed.
What do you take with you when you emigrate to Sweden?
To help you prepare for your trip, we have listed a number of tips for you. Be careful not to send documents, keys, medicines, jewelry and other important items in sea and/or air freight.
| Clothing
| The Swedish population in Stockholm dresses fashionably, but also neatly, just like in any other international city. Shorts are only worn during sports activities. It is advisable to bring clothes made of natural materials. These are often warmer. Appropriate rainwear and light(er) clothing is recommended for the summer. Think of warm clothing in the winter and also for outside, such as a good and warm winter coat. |
| Travel plug | The mains voltage in Sweden is about 220 Volts and the frequency is 50 Hertz. You need a (world) adapter plug if you bring electrical appliances. |
| Medicines | Check if your medication is available in Sweden and what the maximum amount is that you are allowed to take with you. Also check if you need a medical certificate to take medication with you on your trip. |
| Documents | Take important documents such as passport, visa documents etc. in your hand luggage – also make copies. |
| Personal belongings | Think of your favorite toiletries, items that remind you of home, and other things you can’t do without when traveling. Tip: pack an extra set of clothes in your carry-on in case your checked baggage is delayed or lost. |
